ABOUT STANI GOMA
Stani, the vibrant host and mastermind behind Flight 1067 to Africa on PBS-FM, pilots listeners on a mesmerising journey through the heart and soul of African music every Sunday from 3:00–5:00 pm. With an eclectic blend of rhythms and melodies from across the continent, Stani’s program is a sonic passport to the diverse soundscape of Africa.
Hailing from the Congo, Stani’s roots in Brazzaville, just a stone’s throw from the pulsating beat of Kinshasa, the epicenter of African dance music, shaped his musical DNA from an early age. Immersed in this rich musical tapestry, Stani’s passion for African rhythm was ignited, becoming an inseparable part of his identity. His profound knowledge and infectious enthusiasm have made him a cherished presence on the airwaves, earning him respect and admiration from audiences far and wide.
2 AUGUST: MELBOURNE AFRICAN TRADITIONAL ENSEMBLE
The Melbourne African Traditional Ensemble (MATE) is more than just a musical project; it’s a vibrant tapestry woven from the rich traditions of Africa. Founded by Stani Goma, MATE is a celebration of Pan-African unity through the universal language of music.
At its core, MATE is a convergence of traditional African instruments and seasoned musicians from diverse corners of the continent. Guided by the ethos of Ujamaa – the African principle of collective work and responsibility – the ensemble embarks on a journey of exploration, innovation, and collaboration.
